On March 8, 1908
in New York was the first strike by women instead. The strike was
directed against the poor working conditions in the textile industry and
has become famous among other poetically worded requirement of the women:
"bread and roses".
The strike was the beginning of the struggle for women's emancipation
and against inequality. In 1910, the German socialist Clara Zetkin
(1857-1933) at the International Vrouwenconfentie, a conference of
Socialist Women in Copenhagen the proposal to proclaim March 8 as
International Women's Day. However, this date was not held anywhere. In
the Netherlands the first Women's Day was celebrated on March 12, 1912

In 1917 broke
again on March 8 a strike because of poor working conditions in the
textile industry, now in St. Petersburg, Russia, headed by the
revolutionary Alexandra Kollontai. Partly as a result chose the
International Women's Secretariat of the Communist or Third
International in 1921, to March 8 final date of International Women's
Day.
Throughout the Cold War, this celebration in the countries of NATO in a
suspicious light stood by its originating socialist basis. In many
capitalist countries the day was therefore not widely celebrated or even
acknowledged.

Women of all a,
faiths and political tendencies participate. In 1978, the International
Women's Day was recognized by the United Nations. In only a single
Western country prevails resistance to "the eighth of March

Since then 'till today every March 8th there is an
international womens day with growing succes as far as the number of
femist participation is concened but this year it is centerend around
violence against and feminicides.

But also thousantds of women went to the streets betecause in comparison
to men they get still get underpayed.
